Yep, No Pecans. I’m just not a nut-in-my-sweets kinda gal.
But, oh my goodness, talk about butter! I only made a half batch and I was astounded at how much butter went into my eight sticky buns.
This was a much more involved recipe than the last one. I spread it out over two days, making the brioche dough on Sunday and then the Sticky Bun part on Monday. It required a lot of steps, but really wasn’t that difficult. This makes me think that I might actually be able to make croissants someday.
I am in the process of packing up our house for a move and only had my silicone pans left in the cupboard. It made the turning out process a little messy, hence the wonky rolls in the pic.
Esi and I agreed that this was the best recipe we have made so far. The brioche was wonderful. I don’t like overly sweet things, but I definitely would like to make the brioche part of this recipe again.

Brioche is definitely one of my favorites… time-consuming, but so worth it in the end!
The wonky buns look cute! Glad you liked it.
We went nut free as well – I don’t think any thing was really lacking with out them.
Your rolls look like they came out beautifully
